[Opensim-dev] Test before you call OSSL function

[dz]

Cinder....
I wasn't  offering  a solution,  I was offering  a suggestion,

Haravikk..
 The suggestion was to add a default  OnErr  state to the  script engine
so that it would provide the desired functionality to all programs,
not just those that used ossl calls.   This would mean that no additional
code would be needed in any program to get the default  "spam to
me/user/everyone" behavior.
I understand the event  handling is more 'elegant".   i just cant think of
a way to provide a default  event handler that won't conflict with the
existing codebase.
I can predict that the number is scripts with existing  "OnErr" states is
insignificant, AND for those that have it,  the existing code  would still
be executed.


anyway..
Ubit  has convinced me  that I have  wasted some hours of thought,  and
minutes of typing,  trying to be helpful.
so i'm going to waste  a bit more.   Apologies to the OP.

As I read his post  what I hear is...

*All your  NON LSL functions  are silly  and  not important...*



*"The problem is WHY are you using them !!!See OSSL got a lot a functions
in time and for very different reasons.Many are there because they are just
funny/useful on very specific regions or cases. "*


* I will label them with a SEVERE threat label  to try and prevent
their use if possible*




*"Once the allow control was introduced, that got worse, because as dev
incan just not care, i just flag a specious feature as SEVERE,ESTATE_OWNER
only. And just let you change it and shoot your own feet,or worse someone
else feet...  "*

*We NEED a RoadMap to determine the  core features*


*"So issue is to identify a set that should be universally supported,
andeveryone make the effort to support it."  *


Sorry  to intrude  on your "thing" ubit...  but it is called
 OPENsimulator  for a reason,
Go back and read  some of the "It's a Framework for EVERYONE" marketing
goo...  Please.
Then  go tell everyone  who uses  NPC's  to stop.,

If  you have  a design  for this universally supported platform..
Please Please Please  make it  public.
I've  been  waiting  literally  decades
